To relieve neck pain at home, follow this simple routine. Start with myofascial release: use your thumb or a massage cane to apply moderate pressure to sore spots for one minute. Next, perform active range-of-motion stretches, rotating your head three times in each direction. Follow with dynamic resistance stretches, blocking your movement with your hand for 20 seconds. Finish with isometric strengthening by holding your head straight and pushing against your hand in four directions for one minute each.
